Google Play Edition 03-15-2015

Bit of a maintenance update.

Nothing much new has been added to the ROM. I’ve updated some apps. Found that the AOSP Email application now works properly, so I’ve removed GMail and replaced it with that. I also added, at everyone’s request, Viper4Android. I actually quite like it, so good call everyone!

I’ve been updating the theming of the Material Dark themed contacts, settings and dialer. I found some proper Material Dark conventions information from Google and updated accordingly.

Finally, the OTA Updates app took a sizeable leap in features. Including Add ons for the ROM, which currently just includes a stock Google Apps package that includes all the Gapps we removed.

Huge update for you all! Some of these features were heavily requested. There’s more to come in subsequent updates. Big thanks to loserskater from XDA for some of these mods. He runs our sister ROM aptly named M8-GPE for the HTC One (M8).

Some stuff has changed. A clean installed would be most preferred. If you dirty install and want to report things are not working, you may find yourself falling on deaf ears… At the very least, please clear the data for the Interface and OTA apps if you choose to dirty flash.

We have decided to push a clean up release which includes a memory fix that was merged into 5.0.2 and all other AOSP projects (CM, Omni) as well and a important fix to our OTA app. We also have decided to compile our own CM apps for the ROM and make any changes in java and not in smali to ensure the cleanest possible apk and optimal compatibility with our Google Play Edition ROM. The teal phone and contacts app also got some love. We hope you enjoy it!

apologies for the OTA app spam notifications, that was a bad derp and it’s fixed this release, we left debugging code and it’s now properly removed
